Tasting Notes
Fettercairn's 16 Year Old - 2nd Release is a masterful rendition of sherry-matured single malt Scotch whisky. The nose greets you with a captivating bouquet of orange oils, dried cherries, and sugared almonds, accompanied by a subtle undertone of cedar wood. On the palate, a delightful medley of dried fruits, including sultanas and prunes, unfolds, followed by the nutty richness of oily walnuts and a tantalizing hint of dark chocolate. As the flavors linger, the finish reveals a delectable salted caramel note, intertwined with aromatic oak and a gentle whisper of coffee. This expression seamlessly blends the distillery's exceptional spirit with the nuanced influence of three distinct sherry cask types: first-fill Oloroso, refill Oloroso, and first-fill Palo Cortado sherry butts, resulting in a harmonious and complex whisky that is sure to impress even the most discerning palates.
